Didn’t know how to delete my post but there is a few of these for the Nothosaurus. If you want this to win cast your vote on this post instead of mine.
This is my take on the Nothosaurus. The creature would be perfect for the Center map given all the water it has. I would want the ark creative team to run wild on this one and leverage Ludroth and Lagiacrus (minus the cobra hood) from a visual perspective.
I think of this creature as a water drake or a Buru from Indian mythology (read up on it) appearance wise. Even though it is a real life creature. Ark devs will definitely put their own creativity on the look of it just like the desert maps new sand Croc.
Abilities would include the following (not expecting all these ideas of course but ark team select the ones you like):
Siren call to bring creatures close to the waters edge.
Ability to drag prey into the water and drown it
Electric shock like eel and jellyfish when in water or can be applied on land only when a creature is being gripped by the drag move. Cooldown on it of course, lasts longer depending on stamina.
Jump out of water ability like a dolphin. Jumps higher than the basilo.
Extremely fast and manoeuvrable swimmer much like the Desmo in the air can go in any direction.
Good movement on land about as fast at a kapro or if that’s to OP slow it to the speed of a Sarco.
No oxygen meter able to breath water. Same goes for rider when riding.
Tail whip attack with knockback. Tailwhip in water stuns like the baryonyx.
Sonar in water like bats echolocation.
Immune to electro stun from eel and jelly.
When in water could generate salt in its inventory as well like a marine iquana.
Size of a rock drake.
Tame by stealing eggs from an under water cave on the center or stealing eggs when it goes on shore to lay them like a sea turtle. Wait till eggs hatch and try and reach the water. Passively feed the babies but when you feed it creatures around go into a frenzy and attack the baby (like it ate a rare flower). You have to protect it until it reaches the water. Once it does it’s tamed.
Again I would like it to move and resemble a ludroth or lagiacrus from monster hunter. Really wanted this creature the first time it came up in the vote and it seems all you did as well because it was in the top 10. Let’s make it happen for the center. Thanks for listening and thanks to the guy who originally created the dossier.

So this dossier isn’t mine and this isn’t the first time this creature has been up to vote. Dossier credit goes to https://www.deviantart.com/umbra-daiwrfol/art/Dino-dossier-Nothosaurus-945498523.
